Abstract. We report on the use of model checking techniques for both the verification of a process control program and the derivation of optimal control schedules. Most of this wor...
We study the problem of maintaining recursively-de ned views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanis...
We use computational systems to express a completion with constraints procedure that gives priority to simplifications. Computational systems are rewrite theories enriched by stra...
This paper studies commitments in multiagent systems. A dialectical commitment corresponds to an agent taking a position about a putative fact, including for the sake of argument....
Current disk prefetch policies in major operating systems track access patterns at the level of the file abstraction. While this is useful for exploiting application-level access...
